These folks have changed my life. This is not an overstatement. If you doubt me, try them. They are honest and do exactly what they say they will. To say they are simply splendid seems too little. They replaced one of my A/Cs and I have never been so satisfied in my home. Everyone else told me it couldn't be done. Thank you, guys.

I've dealt with many AC companies over the years but this company was the best by far! I needed a new evaporator coil & my home warranty company sent them. They went above & beyond by correcting duct work that was shoddy from the original installation done by another company over 10 yrs ago. My house is now cooling faster than ever before. I strongly recommend them!

The last company just fixed my air conditioner gave me a bill and ran out the door! This year i contacted HOBBS home comfort to look at my system. The HVAC technician JEFF was very informative about the issue from the moment he arrived. He spent over an hour explaining the repair and possible options for future system replacement and every possible issue or scenario with the existing system. Excellent service!!

The technician was prompt, had the parts on hand, and made the repair in about 30 minutes. We thought the blower had gone out, but the technician confirmed it was a minor repair, costing much less than we expected. Jonathon was very professional and did a great job. We will be calling this company again when it's time to service our other unit.

They came out spotted the problem. And then I got lucky because they had the right part on hand. My system was going 40 minutes after they arrived, and ~4 hours after I called. And they charged ~$230 less than I was quoted from some better advertised dealers. They were the original contractors on my last house, and I'm glad I remembered them.
